#IncarceratedMothers
The judicial system in Iran promoted kindergarten as an opportunity for taking care of children who live with their incarcerated mothers in #prison. In this report, we showed fake news, a lack of transparency, and a lack of research on this idea.

In Iran, newborn children could stay in #prison up to age 6 if allowed. We published some investigative reports illustrating the situation of children in women's ward prisons in different provinces. The tragic situation of children in Sepidar Ahvaz prison: https://t.co/4hbu6ALVuu
This report mentioned the violations children face in Qarchak prison, south of Tehran, capital of Iran. We documented the #children_rights_violation, such as well-being, health, and education in this women's prison. https://t.co/ebKpxLIYTV
At least 104 children have lost their fathers in the past 8 months due to the #execution conducted by the Iranian judiciary, as @IranRights_org reported. They should stop violating human rights and avoid putting the life and well-being of more children in danger.
Research by Abdorrahman Boroumand Center for Human Rights in Iran indicates that owing to at least 368 executions conducted by the Iranian judiciary in the last eight months, at least 104 children have lost their fathers.

We ask all human rights and political activists to use all national and international tools to compel Iran to allow an independent investigation and undertake urgent, meaningful actions to protect the health and lives of women, pregnant women, and children in prison.
Urgent Call:
Lives of pregnant and breast-feeding women and their children in Iran’s prisons, including #Soda_Khadirzadeh and her daughter, are in serious danger
